Sommerset Mall

We decided to leave town early in an effort to miss after work traffic, but today was not our day. We ended up spending an hour in traffic just outside Sommerset. Don't know how people cope with this type of a time suck on a daily basis. We decided to

Time for Swedish House Mafia

I just dropped Amelia off with Britney, to go and watch Swedish House Mafia. I probably would've enjoyed the music, but I most definitely did not feel like the crowd. Guess it is back to a mall with me.

Cape Town trip a little behind schedule

As things go, I started off the day with the intention of hitting the road early so as to get into Cape Town a bit earlier than usual. Good intentions aside, I had a super productive start to the day and spent longer than planned at the office. Imel, Rudie

The Wilderness Experience

Amelia and I decided to go to the market in Wilderness for a change, and what an experience did it turn out to be. Well, we're not particularly cash people, so we couldn't really buy much, as no-one accepted cards for payment. We did however get to try some of

The Airport

We flew up to Gauteng for a meeting that lasted about two hours. Considering our meeting ended early and we were catching a lift to the airport, we decided to go to the airport early, that way ensuring we won't get stuck in traffic. We had some fish and chips

Google Buzz
